Alfred Kropp: The Seal of Solomon by Rick Yancey - ESSENTIAL

Yancey, Rick Alfred Kropp: The Seal of Solomon, 336 p. Bloomsbury


MS – ESSENTIAL


Alfred Kropp is kidnapped right out of the wretched foster home he is currently existing in. You would think a young man who controls a billion dollar corporation could do better for himself. But being dragged around the world to face demons released from hell is better than listen to his foster father plot to control his money any day. 


With the best intentions, Albert continues to do right by messing everything and everyone up. His dogged perseverance and unassuming personality help this book shine. However, it and its companion book still win the prize for ugliest cover, so you will have to direct students to it – they won’t pick it up on their own, unfortunately. Kropp is a lovely antidote or “Harry-itis”.
